This film in my view is one of his best creations, the other one being The Great Dictator where he played Hitler. Just watched this again, after quite some time. The story is of angst in the industrial world, the greed of corporate chieftains, and the struggle of a common man..and woman.
That paragraph above does no justice to a masterpiece. How that story translates into film is what is hard to imagine, until you see it. It manages to be a comedy all through its run, with a romance on the side. And it's better than most comedies I have seen, in Hindi or English. That is its achievement, apart from the superb acting by the great man himself. Unparalleled!
